Porvair Sciences showcases range of medical market materials at Compamed

Visitors to this year's Compamed exhibition found out more information about Porvair Sciences' range of advanced materials for the medical and life science markets. 

Visitors to Porvair Science's booth at this year's Compamed show learnt how Porvair's BioVyon range of high-performance porous materials have been incorporated into numerous medical device products. Porvair also displayed the latest life science and medical products and application solutions from the company’s Laboratory Division.

Alan Hughes, advanced materials account manager at Porvair Sciences commented: "The requirements of porous materials used in devices and systems for medical diagnostics and drug delivery applications are usually far more stringent than those for industrial applications.

“They need to be contamination-free with very low levels of leachables and with full traceability. Regulatory approval is also an essential prerequisite for many products in these sectors.”

BioVyon range of advanced porous plastic materials are being used in applications including drug filtration and purification, catheter vents, bone cement mixing in the operating theatre and nasal spray filters.
